All Around The World
Richard Little Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rock and roll is all they play
All around the world
Rock and roll is all they play
You can hear those jukebox jumpin'
All night and all through the day
All the flat top cats
Just a-rockin' and rollin'
In their red and blue jeans
All around the world
Rock and roll is here to stay
You can hear those jukebox jumpin'
All night and all through the day
Ain't never no time for romance
They only wanna dance
The people all holla when they hit that floor
Go, cat, go
All around the world
Rock and roll is here to stay
You can hear those jukebox jumpin'
All night and all through the day
They do the Baha
The Texas hop
Shim sham shimmy
And they never, never stop
All around the world
Rock and roll is here to stay
You can hear those jukebox jumpin'
All night and all through the day
Never no time for romance
They only wanna dance
The people all holla when they hit that floor
Go, cat, go
All around the world
Rock and roll is here to stay
You can hear those jukebox jumpin'
All night and all through the day

Jukeboxes are constantly playing, and people are jumping to the beat all night and day.

The chorus repeats the message that rock and roll is here to stay while emphasizing the never-ending party that surrounds it. The bridge of the song highlights some of the popular dance moves, such as the Baha, the Texas hop, and the Shim-Sham Shimmy.

The excitement of the music and the energy of the crowd create a lively atmosphere that people want to be a part of. This song tells us that rock and roll is more than just a genre of music, it is a way of life.

@divinespark4842
I always remember this song from that alien movie back in the 80s, 'The Explorer' (at least, I think that's what it was called). Anyway, great song and singer. Little Richard undoubtedly had one of the best Rock & Roll voices ever and paved the way for many Rock singers such as Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers, Steve Marriott & Rod Stewart. LR is an icon and legend.
